description

Transparent pigment merges with the unique, natural tone of your lips to create something wonderful and yours alone. Clinique's cult classic Black Honey is more than lipstick. It's a phenomenon. This iconic shade is famous for its chameleon-like ability to flatter all skin tones yet look different on everyone. The secret is its perfect blend of blue, red, and yellow pigments in a creamy, sheer base that melts into lips, playing up their natural color. Don't be fooled by the way Black Honey Clinique Lipstick looks in the tube. Transparent pigment glides on a sheer, glossy slip of lightweight color. Allergy tested. 100% fragrance free.

* Me - NC30 * Pros - Nice color that can be darkened with a second application or as a base for a more dramatic or shimmery lip gloss on top. * Cons - Not very long lasting unfortunately. This...

I really enjoy this color. One coat is super sheer, but two coats turns out a little dark on me which I love both looks so it works! Not very moisturizing like most Clinique sticks & fades pretty...

Like most of clinique's products, this is more geared for pink/blue skintones. I have yellow nc-20ish skin and this didn't look very natural. It's suppose to be sheer but it does NOT work for every...

This color, I believe, would look good on almost anyone! I am fair - and it looks great on me! Very sheer .... almost makes your lips have a "just kissed" look. The packaging makes it easy to...

I admit, I was skeptical. A color that looks good on everyone? Even incredibly pale me? No such thing. But it does. It's not the shade you're going to reach for when you want that 'full face all...

I bought awhile back after a SA in sephora recommended it to me. I thought it was just meh. I didn't hate or love the color. I felt it was overrated. I wasn't too crazy about the packaging either....

I really like this. It looks nice on my lips and I love the packaging. I dont, however, like the smell/taste of this. If it wasn't for that I would probably wear it more often. I keep it in my...

I expected more from this product because of all the hype. I can't wear it without chapstick first because it's a bit drying on its own. Also, it's not as flattering as I would like. Definitely not...

I'm usually just a plain ol' chapstick kind of gal with the occasional foray into lip stains. This is the only lipstick I will wear because of the perfectly sheer, natural looking color. My husband...

It's very hydrating, feels like a lip balm but with the color of a lipstick. Deep Honey will suit everyone's skin tone, in my opinion, it's a universal color. Pink or yellow undertones, light to...
